WHAT WAS SAID
"Proud of this team for working hard to get another sweep," stated head coach Brittany Newberry following Hendrix's impressive straight-set win over Centre. "Centre didn't make it easy, especially in the third set. We got down and had to fight back until the very end. Thankfully, we practice that exact scenario every week in practice. Excited to get back in the gym Tuesday to continue to get better."
